Well, I wrestled that thing out of there today and it was not easy! As a newbie I am pretty proud of myself. What i learned? disconnect the exhaust from the manifold... oops . it needs replacing anyway... Here are a few pics if anyone's interested.

good job man....you were able to get that sucker out without taking off the shock tower braces....
who are you...david coperfield?

 

Hats off to you man.. you did that by yourself .i paid a derelict 800$ to pull my engine and put it together ! what have i learned? fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.. [:'(] Damn you Hank

 

Ha... the braces not being off might have something to do with my ignorance...lol. it was definitely a process but satisfying to see it final up and out!

 

yea when you finally get it out, its a good feeling, had to pull the original i-6 out of my car, then put it in a 62 falcon, then had to put a 302 in my car, it blew up, had to pull it out, and then had to put a new 302 in so yea, it is a process in which you feel relieved and accomplished when its done. i was also wondering if you were planning on rebuilding your i-6 or if you were going to do a v-8 swap?

 

I'm going to rebuild the i6. i have thought about the swap but for now i am sticking with it. part of it is cost. it seems from what I've read on the forum that it is quite a process.
